Partnered with a Survivor: David Mandel and Ruth Reymundo Mandel
This podcast is a series of conversations.
What started as a series of intimate conversations between Ruth and David that ranged from personal to professional experiences around violence, relationships, abuse, and system and professional responses which harm, not help, has now become a global conversation about systems and culture change. In many episodes, David and Ruth are joined by a global leader in different areas like child safety, men and masculinity, and, of course, partnering with survivors. Each episode is a deep dive into complex topics like how systems fail domestic abuse survivors and their children, societal views of masculinity and violence, and how intersectionalities such as cultural beliefs, religious beliefs, and unique vulnerabilities impact how we respond to abuse and violence. These far-ranging discussions offer an insider look into how we navigate the world together as professionals, as parents, and as partners. During these podcasts, David and Ruth challenge the notions which keep all of us from moving forward collectively as systems, as cultures, and as families into safety, nurturance, and healing.
We hope you join us.

Listening to your podcast and subscribed to the mapping tool. You are a voice of reason that is so desperately needed also in Finland! What can I do to get your model planted with the Finnish authorities? I am in the midst of 3 upcoming court cases with my abuser and my child is not safe. The situation in the Finnish family court is such that my lawyer told me not to report rape while the custody case is on, so they won’t turn it against me and put the child with the abusive father! I reported it anyway. I will map and print and talk about your model to whoever I come to contact with. And after the court cases are over and I am no longer gagged, I will never stop talking about domestic violence and the perpetrator focus. Thank you again so much for your life-saving work, we will do this system change together! Best regards, Hanna Partanen hanna@peaceinvaders.fi
